Rani Dutta Arya Vidyalaya

About

This School was inaugurated on September 16, 1995 by our National leader, ex-Prime Minister of India, Shri Chandra Shekhar. Shri Sahib Singh Verma, the then Education Minister of Delhi, presided over the function.

This School was initially started as a Middle School having classes from class I to class VIII. It was upgraded as a Secondary School up to class X in April 1999.From the academic year 2003-2004, it has been upgraded as a Senior Secondary School up to class XII.All girls residing in Arya Kanya Sadan study till class V and all boys living in Arya Bal Griha study till class XII in this school.There is adequate provision of desks for seating in every study room. Besides a big hobby room, there exists a well-equipped library with a large number of books meant for children to cater to their creative faculties.

A computer centre was recently set up in an air-conditioned room in the School. Ten computers have been installed and linked with internet. This initiative became possible by the assistance given by Shri Vishwa Nath Ji, owner, Raj Pal and Sons whose magnanimous patronage has been available to the institutions since long. This facility was extended to Des Raj Campus as well. America India International and Xansa have been very helpful in the progressive expansion of these computer centres. Rotary Club (Rajdhani), Lions Club, Greater Kailash and Rotary Club (North) have also extended their generous support in providing equipment and materials and the institutions are beholden to all of them.

Academic and educational pursuits are not the exclusive activities of the school. Many creative, extra-curricular and artistic activities are also vigorously pursued in the hidden talents and potential of the inmates. The children are given varied opportunities to visit worth-seeing places like Bal Bhawan, Gandhi Smriti, Nehru Planetarium, Science Museums, historical monuments etc. Facilities in extracurricular activities provided by Bal Bhawan and Gandhi Smriti and Darshan Samiti are availed of by children in ample measure.

The feedback is encouraging as our children have depicted admirable qualities of discipline, inquisitiveness and modesty. We are told that the mental level of these children is comparatively much higher than other children visiting those very places. It is worth mentioning that 150 children of Rani Dutta Arya Vidyalaya gave a cultural performance in the Republic Day parade at Rajpath on 26th January, 2000 and won first prize at the state level and second prize at the national level.
